Magic Beans

Another great post by the Wolfman My father texted me the other day with this gem, “Trade Kendrick (Kyle) for a bag of magic beans.” Kendrick had just surrendered five first inning runs to the Pirates, and though a decent spot starter at times, Phils fans have just grown tired of these random pathetic outings. Of course, this is not the first time magic beans have been a part of one of my dad’s mythological trade scenarios. You may remember when Randy Moss was traded to the Patriots for a bag of magic beans, or when Bobby Abreu was…

Spencer Hawes Rants on ObamaCare, Diminishes Already Small Fanbase

Hold the presses! Spencer Hawes is officially against “ObamaCare” and he wants everyone to know that! I certainly don’t want to get into a debate about whether you are for or against the Senate ruling that occurred over the mandated health insurance reform, but I DO want to show some wonderful antics from our favorite under-achieving 7ft center, Spencer Hawes. Say what you will about his play (which I just did by calling him under-achieving), but Adam and I both had no idea that Spencer Hawes, the 76ers player, was so damn conservative. Apparently he was all worked up…

Fake News, Real Headlines

Article by The Wolfman These are actual headlines found on various websites. The news created here is entirely untrue – but if you want to read the real article, we have provided the appropriate links for you to follow. Enjoy! Rouge dolphin, alone after Katrina, menaces lake area Former Dolphin great Dan Marino has been on a rampage of late in the quaint lakeside village of Palmetto Springs, after separating from his wife Katrina. Residents have seen Marino at night knocking over mailboxes, throwing eggs at people, and sometimes, howling at the moon. Since going rouge, there has been…

A Quick, Ridiculously Conflicted Rant of College Football Playoffs

I wanted to write about Chase Utley’s debut last night, and his forthcoming start for the Phillies tonight, but I jinx everything, so instead I’m going to discuss something that I have absolutely no emotional investment in whatsoever. Yesterday, a bunch of college presidents had an official announcement of their agreement to move to a 4-seed playoff structure. Did you recognize anyone of those guys? They were made for TV about as much as John Clayton is made for HD (HIYOOOO!) I’ve gone through a terrible swing of opinions about this subject in the past 48 hours, so if…

Mark Cuban Crushes Skip Bayless, ESPN in General

All too often ESPN’s analysts over-generalize about everything in sports in an attempt to “dumb-down” their coverage. Skip Bayless may be the epitome of this. In turn, Mark Cuban destroys him. Also note how silent Stephen A. Smith is. He’s just trying to keep his job.

Reverse Jinx FAIL

1.) If you didn’t already figure it out, I was hoping that yesterday’s post would prove to be enough of a reverse jinx to prevent the Heat from winning the title (sort of like what happened to the Wolfman in fantasy football). But alas, that was not the case. Lebron proved to much for the Thunder, and the geek finally got his championship. Drats. Once again, we must be reminded of the harsh lesson learned from the soused mind of Don Draper: “The universe is indifferent.” Indeed. 2.) I skimmed Bill Simmons column yesterday and in it he left this…

Congratulations on the Championship Lebron!

1.) In less than 24 hours, Lebron James will have his first NBA title. This much we know. The Oklahoma City Thunder (who one Headrush writer proclaimed were ‘Built to Last’ before covering himself and picking the Heat to win the championship), have folded like a chair. They look like scared kittens about to be put in a box Milo style and sent down the river by Lebron. This thing is over. The only thing that I know for sure–besides that the Heat will win tonight–is that this is the worst case scenario for the NBA. I watched PTI…
